By doing SO you change the I'M

appeal TO tie electors to discover
whether that is really the wish OF tue

electors will permit ideas actively to
exist according to which the strength
OF the army is to he determined by the
Reichstag, without the consent of the
federal council and Emperor. You
can hardly expect that the Emperor, IN
his Goth year, will contribute to the de
TstructiOn of the work he has devoted
the last thirty years of his life-th
creation of the army of the
German Empire. Ii you believe
that possible, if you awaken the
slightest suspicion that those are
your aims, and II you do not speedily
satisfy he wishes of the federal gov

of Germany by complete acceptance

Prince Bismarck arose to reply. He

question is whether the latter is supe-

US as exists in France and Italy which in
times of danger ignore party distinG-

Count Bismarck-Oh, with the navy, the
caseis different. The Reichstag has al

70 say that we fish by dissolving to
secure an assembly which Will always
say yes" to every thing, is taking
an exaggerated view. Grum bling
by Parliament when demands
are made for the security OF the
Empire is nowhere as customary
AS it is in Germany. With regard to
the eastern policy, Germany and aus
tr1a can and will make the interests of
the other its own, but that one power
should absolutely and entirely sacriEce
Itself for the other is impossible. Each
has interests unattectlng the other
each must, therefore, go It's own way.
Herr WindthOrst in saying that Rus
STA is our ally. did not bit the mark. In
the presence of the good relations ex
planned between Germany and other
powers, and the possibility OF q war
with France, l have counted on no
ally, nor can he. If the delay in the
passage o. p On . the

proceeded to discus the financial
aspects of the bill He disputed the
assertion that expenses would be in
Cured which the country would be IN
able to support. With regard to Hanover,
Prince Bismarck reminded the House
that the late King George had tried,
through the lnstrumentallty OF Ma
poieon, to procure his Reinstatement.
Il might be that nis son had by this
time changed his views, out there was
no proof that he had.
LII conclusion, the Chancellor said
the government could have no iur-
Their dealings with the committee. The
decision lay with the House itself. For
his own part, he could never persuade
himself 70 waste ,time by attending the
sitting OF the committee. When Prince
Bismarck had concluded his remarks.
the House adjourned until tomorrow.
